Plantain Lily 'Krossa Regal', Krossa Regal Hosta
Award-winning Hosta ‘Krossa Regal’ (Plantain Lily) is a robust clump-forming perennial forming an upright, arching, spreading mound of ovate, soft gray-blue, smooth, widely veined leaves, 11 in. long (28 cm). Bell-shaped, pale purple flowers appear on exceptionally tall scapes, 4-6 ft. long (120-180 cm), in mid to late summer. They attract songbirds and hummingbirds. Moderately fast-growing, this giant hosta makes a striking specimen in the shade garden thanks to its graceful, vase-like habit and beautifully shaped leaves. The foliage is of good substance and very slug resistant.
